Discussion: Assessment of the Skin

Assessment of the Skin comprises:

Describe a patient with an abnormal skin symptom or group of symptoms such as a rash, an itch, redness, a lesion, or wounds. Do not limit yourself to these examples.

What questions would you ask as part of your focused assessment?

What history might be associated with the symptom, if any?

What are the known risk factors for this condition?

What physical examination techniques would you use?

What patient education would you give the patient?

Find a nursing journal article about these symptoms.
